Reviews: Smittybilt Factory Style 2" Receiver Hitch - JH45

Great product easy to install. I didn't want to take off my bumper so instead i used channel locks to hold the nut to get the threads started took me about 30min. total to install hitch and wiring harness. would not hesistate to buy again.

Very easy to install. I thought it would be harder. Buy it.....it's worth it!

Bought this hitch for my Jeep & it's great. Reasonably priced, looks good & easy to install. I'm a woman and did it myself.

this is a great product. it was easy to install on my 2012 wrangler unlimited(20 minutes). Tight fit between the bumper and the hitch, but definitely do-able. BUY IT.

This hitch fit perfect and had zero flaws. Super easy and anyone could install.

I partially removed the bumper for an easier install. All holes lined up well. Install all bolts before tightening down.

I marked this easy to install and difficult to install. The reason I put both was about expectations. I had to remove the back bumper to install this hitch and I didn't think I would have to do that. The directions don't indicate you need to, but for me, I had to. Now, with that said, it was easy to remove the bumper and install the hitch, but I wasted a lot of time trying to do it without removing the bumper. The product itself is great and doing exactly what I wanted.

Easy installation. Did not need to remove bumper to install, just needed some tape and my long fingers to hold the nuts in place. Done in under 30 minutes including clean-up!

This hitch was easy to install. I did not remove hook or exhaust. I just removed bumper cover. It can go on in under a hour. I torqued bolts to 60lbs. Its perfect!

Easy install. Sturdy with no fuss receiver. Hardware was included.

Easy to install. I did have to loosen up the rear bumper in order to get the washers and nuts on but it was easy. Took 30 mins. I even bought the Smittybilt trailer harness and it was a breeze. I highly recommend these products.

I did not remove my bumper as some others have. I would not remove the bumper. An open end wrench and some tape are all you need for a 15 minute installation. Do not tighten the bolts all the way until all of the long bolts are in the hitch. The bolts will go in with the muffler in place with just a little wiggling. I installed the outside two bolts first and needed to loosen them to get the middle ones in. A headlamp will help since everything is black like a cave. when you are looking up at it.

After reading all of the reviews I decided to purchase this hitch. I removed the bumper like others said they did to install the hitch and it was well worth the time. I also purchased the factory plug and play trailer harness and it fit perfect on the hitch.
